Scoping Review, Benefits, Reciting, Memorizing Quran

Abstract

This scoping review examines the benefits of Quranic engagement, encompassing recitation, listening, and memorisation. From a pool of 1,739 articles, 21 relevant studies were analysed. Recitation of the Quran provides solace and inner peace while listening to it reduces stress and promotes overall well-being. Memorisation enhances cognitive abilities and fosters a deeper understanding of Islamic principles. Quranic engagement also yields social benefits by preserving heritage and fostering Muslim unity. These practices contribute to holistic well-being, personal growth, and community cohesion. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and explore how Quranic engagement facilitates these benefits.
